I Bought A Neko

Jenna's POV

I pulled the door open with a smile on my face, and Christopher, my husband walked in with a small smile on his face, and just as I was about to shut the door, a girl immediately walked in with her suitcase trailing behind her. The both of them walked into the house wordlessly

My brows knitted together, forming a frown on my face as I gently shut the door and immediately went after them.

"Is everything okay, love? You brought a friend home, is she good?" I asked in a hushed tone as I took his briefcase and his jacket from him, yet Christopher didn't say a word in response.

My eyes darted to the girl, and she looked strangely familiar, but I couldn't figure out when I had seen her before.

"Is mum back home?" I dragged my eyes away from her and shook my head.

"She'd be staying out a bit later than usual today. She has her weekly spa appointment booked today. Is everything okay? Should I call her to get home?"

He gave me a tight-lipped smile and shook his head. " Oh, I was just looking for her. There's absolutely nothing wro..."

"There is," the girl pipped in before he could finish and I raised my brows, eyes darting between her and Christopher, who suddenly looked like all the color had been drained away from his face.

"Let's wait till my mother gets back, Lilian."

The name instantly struck a chord in my head, and I could finally place a finger on her familiarity. She was his secretary, he hired her when he took over a year ago.

"Why wait? She's the one we need to tell anyway, she's the wife." I didn't miss the mock emphasis she placed on the word wife, and I narrowed my eyes.

"What is going on here, Christopher?" I asked, staring pointedly at him and he gulped. "Did anything bad happen with the business?" Over the 4 years of our marriage, Christopher has repeatedly crashed many businesses. Getting him to take over my company last year has proven to be a good idea as he has been managing it well, but it seems that has also come to an end.

My grandparents were going to have my head when they find out.

"Talk to me, Chris. Is it the business? What happened?"

"Are you going to talk or not?"

"You should not speak to my husband, your boss, in that manner." I snapped, glaring at the girl, who instantly arched a brow at my words.

"Husband...." She mumbled as if tasting the word, before a smile broke out on her face and she nodded. "Well, I'm not speaking to my boss that way, ma'am," I frowned, and glanced at Christopher, and beads of sweat had formed on his forehead, "I am speaking to my husband that way. Isn't that allowed? Considering I'm pregnant with his baby."

My vision blurred for a split second, and a humorless laugh escaped my lips. "Sorry, what?"

Christopher shuffled close to me and held my arm, a nervous smile tugging on his lips. "Baby, please...take a seat. Let's talk about this."

" You never call me baby..." I muttered, forcing my gaze away from Lilian to his face, "and you are not denying her lies."

"Baby, I..."

"Jenna. That's my name, and that's what you've called me for the last 8 years. Stick to it" he gulped and glanced at her, then back at me.

"Jenna... I can explain."

I scoffed, and tucked my bottom lip in between my teeth. "You want to explain how you got your secretary pregnant? What's your explanation? It was an accident? It was a mistake? It was just once?"

" Definitely wasn't..." I heard her mumble, and my heart sank to my stomach, but I held back the tears blurring my vision.

"Jenna, please hear me out."
